The Yankees kicked off the most grueling stretch of this early season – 20 games in 20 days – with one of their most complete and thorough performances so far. Power, pitching and defense were all on display in a satisfying 7-1 win over the Royals on Tuesday night.
The power was supplied by Gary Sanchez and Chris Carter, who each went deep and combined to drive in five runs.
Sanchez broke a scoreless tie in the third inning with a booming 428-foot homer, putting the Yankees up 3-0.
